And while it may be disappointing, it's not like he won't be welcomed with open arms. He'll play a big role there, lots will be expected of him. He'll need to meet or exceed these expectations to wipe the slate clean from last season, and earn a contract with the Canadiens. Let's hope he takes the bull by the horns and responds well. He says he models his game after Kevin Bieksa. Well, we can always use a one of those on our team.
